Early Tests Suggest That Most Apps Do Not Take Advantage Of Power Of New Mac Pro

Tests by several respected Mac sites such as The Verge and Engadget suggest that most apps do not take advantage of the power offered by the new Mac Pro.

Only software optimized to take advantage of the new GPU really show the new Mac Pro’s extra power. As would be expected Apple’s Final Cut X is one such application to have been recoded to take advantage of this power boost, the Verge writes “when using other software, the Mac Pro is only modestly faster than a new-vintage iMac”.

We have no indication from Avid as to when their applications including Pro Tools will be able to take advantage of the power offered by the new Mac Pro.
